While out doing some astronomy observation this weekend, I contracted the help of one of my friends to "paint a telescope" with light. We tried many different techniques to find one that brought out the scope, yet also allowed the stars to show up. We first settled on using red flashlights. The one problem we did not think about is that the scope was black. Only after the first few shots did we realize that we would need a bit of white light to help out. You will notice there are 2 different light sources in this first one. The red was not bright enough to light the black scope. I used a white LED light to light up the scope. I left the white light on for 3 seconds in the middle of the 15 second exposure. This way, the stars would still shine through. The red light was left on for the full 15 seconds.
